Cyberpunk 2077: bet on the metacritic

[the-pi-guy]

There are some really horrible sections.  

Digital Foundry was showing that there is a part of the city where the whole game just drops to like 15-20 fps.  
Pretty bad.

First console version review is a 3.5/10 from Jeuxvideo. Also a 6.8/10 from GamePro Germany for the XB1 version. Looks like the console versions couldd have very low metascores.

Yeah im definitely waiting on this. I also got lots to play anyways. I got ghost, and just bought doom eternal and uncharted:LG on a sale

Hotfix 1.04 - Cyberpunk 2077 — from the creators of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Has a patch out at least fixing some things hopefully.

Team leads at CD Projekt give out bonus performance tokens to employees every month, a system that some say has implicitly encouraged developers to crunch. (To get tokens, you'd want to show your boss you were working longer and harder than your peers)

So I knew vehicle AI was bad but didn't realise there's actually no vehicle AI. Every car in the game just drives an on rail pre-determined route. If you get in the way they just stop dead and wait until they can go again, that's the limit of their intelligence.

Scripted chase scenes just play out as they were designed, you're given a gun as a passenger but the other drivers are invincible because they only stop when they get to their scripted end.

Hmm so not as good as gta

Never mind not as good, GTA is best in class and this is bare minimum.

Here's what the traffic AI looks like

And here's a list someone made on reddit of a lot of basic stuff this game is missing that other open worlds like this commonly do now: https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kb22xs/compiled_list_of_missing_features_quality_of_life/

Night city, architecturally, is incredible. That's about it for the game's top-of-the-line features though, imo.

Era OT and reddit are turning very negative. The bugs were a big first thing that everyone is complaining about, but a lot of people are getting past the bugs and are just not happy about the game as it is right now.

I've now played over 10 hours and I have to agree its overall just a solid game. CDPR hustled the entire world with this one.

This game seems really incomplete. Really seems like it needed more time.  

Maybe it will be well worth playing in 6 months.

Yeah, don't touch this game right now peeps.

I have to say the reaction to this game sure hasn't turned out how I imagined it would. Can't say that CDPR didn't bring this upon themselves though.

What a mess.
